8 Sphenopalatine and Maxillary Arteries
David K. Morrissey, Peter John Wormald
Introduction
This chapter describes the anatomy of the sphenopala­tine and internal maxillary arteries in detail to provide a framework for the surgical management of these regions. Techniques for the endonasal endoscopic approach to the sphenopalatine artery (SPA) are discussed. Approaches to the maxillary artery within the pterygopalatine fossa are also discussed including the transantral approach. Com­plications of these approaches as well as tips and pitfalls are also highlighted.

8.1 Anatomy of the Sphenopal­atine and Maxillary Arteries
8.1.1 Maxillary Artery
The maxillary artery is one of two large terminal branches of the external carotid artery and arises deep to or within the parotid gland, below the level of the temporomandib­ular joint. It then passes horizontally between the sphe­nomandibular ligament and the ramus of the mandible to cross the lower head of the lateral pterygoid muscle where it is embedded within the pterygoid venous plexus. Next it enters the pterygomaxillary fissure and runs posterior to the posterior wall of the maxillary sinus and terminates by entering the nasal cavity as the SPA via the sphenopalatine foramen (Fig. 8.1).
The maxillary artery is typically described as having three parts based on its relationship to the lateral pter­ygoid muscle. The first part lies medial to the mandible and lateral to the lateral pterygoid muscle and typically has four branches. The second part is the portion crossing the lateral pterygoid muscle and typically has six muscu­lar branches and a variable relationship to that muscle. The third portion of the maxillary artery is the part of most interest to the rhinologist. It enters the pterygopal­atine fossa via the pterygomaxillary fissure. Within the pterygopalatine fossa, the artery runs a torturous course and gives off several branches, coming to an end as it exits the sphenopalatine foramen as the SPA. demonstrated five arteries arising from the third part of the maxillary artery commencing at a level of one-third the height of the posterior maxillary wall. These were the posterior superior alveolar, infraorbital, pterygoid canal, descending palatine, and sphenopalatine arteries, with their origins occurring in this order from lateral to medial in 85% of cases.
The third part of the maxillary artery passes in an anteromedial superior direction upon entering the pter­ygopalatine fossa (Fig. 8.2). Within the pterygopalatine fossa, the course of the maxillary artery can be described as looped (most common), bifurcated, or straight. As the maxillary artery traverses the pterygopalatine fossa, it is always located anterior to the neural elements, and the terminal division occurs in the medial superior third in 60% of cases and the middle medial third in 30% of cases,

with occasional divisions elsewhere within the pterygo­palatine fossa. The configuration of the terminal branches of the maxillary artery is also quite variable and can take several different formats, also previously described by Choi and Park. it is difficult to predict the individual variation that will be encountered in any particular case; hence, it is incumbent upon the surgeon to expect wide variation in the course of the maxillary artery and its branches and to operate in such a manner as to account for possible variations.

8.1.2 Sphenopalatine Artery
The SPA is the terminal branch of the maxillary artery and supplies the mucosa of the nasal septum and lateral na­sal wall. It enters the nasal cavity via the sphenopalatine foramen (Fig. 8.3) and divides into posterior lateral nasal and posterior nasal arteries. The larger of the branches is

The sphenopalatine foramen is located on the lateral wall of the nose at the level of or within 10 mm of the posterior wall of the maxillary sinus.

It is bounded superiorly by the body of the sphenoid bone, while the palatine bone forms the anterior, posterior, and inferior borders via its orbital process, perpendicular plate, and sphenoidal processes, respectively. The crista ethmoidalis (Fig. 8.3) is a reliable lateral nasal wall landmark for the SPA and is formed by a small bony crest of the perpendicular plate or ascending process of the palatine bone that meets the most posterior, inferior, and lateral aspect of the middle turbinate.

have demonstrated that 97% of specimens had two or more branches and 64% had three or more. Typically, there are two major branches. This is a key observation, as successful ligation of the SPA at the foramen typically requires multiple branches to be addressed. Failure to do so is proposed to be a significant reason for failed management of posterior epistaxis via endoscopic SPA ligation.

8.2 Indications for Approaches to the Sphenopalatine and Maxillary Arteries
There are several indications for utilizing direct surgical approaches to the sphenopalatine and maxillary arteries. These indications include:
Posterior or refractory epistaxis.
Surgery for benign and malignant neoplasms of the para-
nasal sinuses, nasal cavity, and pterygopalatine fossa.
As part of the initial approach to the vidian nerve in the
pterygoid canal. Furthermore, approaches toward the sphenopalatine and maxillary arteries may form an important part of several extended endoscopic endonasal approaches involving the following sites:
Lateral recess of the sphenoid sinus.
Cavernous sinus and middle cranial fossa.
Pterygopalatine and infratemporal fossa.
Posterior cranial fossa.
Petrous temporal bone.
The choice of approach is largely dictated by the particu­lar pathology, its anatomic extent, and the fundamental need of the surgeon to have adequate exposure to operate safely and efficiently.

8.3 Surgical Approach to the Sphenopalatine Artery
The SPA is typically approached under a general anes­thesia. In occasional instances where a patient is not fit for general anesthesia, the approach may be conducted under local anesthetic.
In both instances, the nose is prepared with injection of local anesthetic with adrenaline, in particular addressing the mucosa in the surgical field located above the inferior turbinate within the middle meatus. Topical vasoconstric­tor (if possible, cocaine < 3 mg/kg with adrenaline 1:10,000) is also applied via cottonoids to the mucosa within the sur­gical field and along the operative channels (nasal septum and inferior turbinates). Preparation of the nose in this manner prior to the surgical scrub allows the full benefits of the topical and injected agents to be realized and hence the patience of the surgeon is rewarded with an improved surgical field. In instances where there is temporary nasal packing in place maintaining hemostasis, the surgeon may elect to perform the preparation of the nose once all equip­ment is prepared and the surgeon has performed a surgical scrub and established a sterile surgical field.
Once the surgical scrub has been completed and a sterile surgical field established, the surgeon may elect to infiltrate additional local anesthetic with adrenaline via

Wormald. vasoconstriction of the SPA and may be of particular benefit in the management of posterior epistaxis and those patients with an ongoing anticoagulant need. To perform this infiltration, the surgeon places his or her finger into the mouth and palpates the hard palate in the region of the second upper molar tooth. A depression should be felt indicating the entry point to the canal. Using an endoscope, the surgeon can identify the position of the foramen visually and maintain this visualization for introduction of the needle. A 25-G needle, bent to 45 degrees at 25 mm from the tip of the needle, is introduced into the foramen at the previously identified position and then advanced to the point of the bend. At this point, 2 mL of local anesthetic with adrenaline is infiltrated. Often, but not always, the ipsilateral hard palate mucosa will be seen to blanch following the injection, which is a reassuring indication of correct placement.
At the commencement of the procedure, a septoplasty may be needed in some instances to access the middle meatus, and this should be performed before any proce­dure upon the SPA is begun. Once the middle meatus is easily accessible, the endoscope is passed into the middle meatus, and the posterior fontanelle of the lateral nasal wall is identified as an anterior landmark for surgery via palpation of the lateral nasal wall within the middle meatus. The posterior fontanelle is a site within the wall separating the maxillary sinus and nasal cavity where the mucosa is intact but the bone deficient. A vertical inci­sion is then made with a no. 15 blade scalpel on a 7 BP handle just posterior to the fontanelle onto the palatine bone from the upper part of the middle meatus and car­ried down to the level of the inferior turbinate insertion. Horizontal incisions are made at the top and bottom of this incision to allow the elevation of a posteriorly based nasal mucosal flap (Fig. 8.4). A suction Freer elevator is used to elevate this flap. Malleable instrumentation can be an advantage at this stage if available. It is important
This can enhance the surgical field by inducing
to ensure the surgeon is directly dissecting onto the bone, as dissection in this surgical plane greatly simplifies the procedure. Dissection should be commenced at the infe­rior aspect of the flap and gradually elevated posteriorly and superiorly.
As the dissection progresses, the crista ethmoidalis will be approached just anterior to the sphenopalatine foramen. This can be easily removed with a Hajek-Koffler punch or similar instrument, being careful not to damage the sphenopalatine neurovascular bundle. To avoid this problem, ensure that the instrument is firmly engaged upon the bone prior to removal of the crest. Upon closure of the instrument, be sure to fully release the instrument from the dissected bone. This permits the release of the artery if inadvertently captured in the device and signifi­cantly reduces the risk of avulsion or tear to the vessel as can be seen when the instrument is engaged and then directly removed from the nasal cavity. Bone fragments noted after release can be removed at this point via a sim­ple grasping instrument.
Immediately posterior to the crest, the SPA will be enco untered as it exits the sphenopalatine foramen. At this site, it should be carefully isolated from the surrounding connective tissue. A sickle knife or suction Freer is commonly employed for this task. Once identified along a suitable length, it is our practice to use suction bipolar forceps to diathermize the vessel. The vessel is then divided, and dissection continues posteriorly and superiorly to identify further branches of the SPA and importantly the posterior nasal artery (Fig. 8.5 and 8.6). As they are encountered, these vessels are coagulated with bipolar electrocautery and divided. At the conclusion of the dissection, the divided vessel stumps will be discernable on the lateral nasal wall and the lateral aspect of the anterior face of the sphenoid clean and visible at the posterior aspect of the dissection. In some instances, vascular clips may be utilized to aid hemostasis. It is our preference to use bipolar cautery

in all instances, including when clips are utilized, as inadequately placed clips can become dislodged and lead to bleeding intraoperatively or postoperatively.
The mucosal flap is then replaced and a small piece of Surgicel placed over the flap to maintain its position. The patient is usually able to be discharged 12 to 24 hours postprocedure and is sent home on 6 hourly nasal saline douches and with a 5- to 10-day course of oral antibiotics.

8.3.1 Tips and Tricks
Preoperative nasal packing allows temporary control of
posterior epistaxis and additionally tends to improve
the width of the endonasal corridor for surgical access.
In posterior epistaxis, the utilization of a local anes-
thetic injection via the greater palatine canal improves
hemostasis and facilitates surgery around the spheno-
palatine foramen.
Techniques to improve hemostasis intraoperatively
such as elevation of the head of the bed should be uti-
lized.
Dissection in the correct subperiosteal plane of the lat-
eral nasal wall greatly simplifies the procedure.
All vessels should be subjected to bipolar electrocau-
tery to ensure hemostasis.
At the conclusion of the procedure, the vessel stumps
should be easily visible and the anterior face of the
sphenoid cleanly dissected to ensure no vessels are
missed.

however, the SPA ligation technique has largely supersed­ed this indication.
After induction of general anesthesia, the nose is pre­pared via injection of local anesthetic with adrenaline to the septum, middle turbinate, and axilla regions. Cot­tonoids soaked in topical vasoconstrictor are then placed within the middle meatus. Ideally, this is completed prior to the surgical scrub to allow the vasoconstrictor to take effect. The skin is then prepared with topical antiseptic and sterile drapes are applied.
At the commencement of the procedure, a septoplas­ty is performed if necessary for access. The middle tur­binate is then gently medialized using a light pressure from a Freer elevator. Landmarks within the middle me­atus for this approach are identified in Fig. 8.7. A releas­ing incision can be made at the medial inferior aspect of the junction between the horizontal and vertical ground lamellae to aid medialization of the middle turbinate.

The transantral approach allows access to the medial portion of the posterior wall of the maxillary sinus and hence the medial elements of the maxillary artery and its terminal branches. Intractable posterior epistaxis was formerly the most common indication for this procedure;

A “swing door” uncinectomy is then performed. The hi­atus semilunaris may be identified initially with a ball
probe. Then, under direct vision, a sickle knife is used to incise through the superior edge of the uncinate process. It is important that this incision is carried through all three layers (mucosa/bone/mucosa). This incision is then taken anteriorly until the hard bone of the frontal process of the maxilla is reached. Next, a backbiter is passed into the semilunar hiatus, taken as inferiorly as possible with­in the hiatus and then utilized to incise the inferior aspect of the uncinate, again moving anteriorly until the fron-

tal process of the maxilla is reached. The final cut with this instrument can be directed superiorly to facilitate uncinate removal (Fig. 8.8a). A ball probe is then placed under the lower of the two incisions and rotated into a vertical orientation. While maintaining close opposition to the lateral nasal wall, the ball probe is drawn forward to “swing” the uncinated process anteriorly and facilitate its removal (Fig. 8.8b). The removal is completed using a 45-degree through-cutting Blakesley forceps applied closely to the lateral wall of the nose and again taking all three layers of the mucosa (Fig. 8.8c).

Fig. 8.9 Natural ostium of the left maxillary sinus (*) adjacent to the anterior aspect of the horizontal portion of the uncinate process (indicated by ball probe).
Upon completing the uncinate removal, the 30-degree endoscope will allow visualization of the natural ostium of the maxillary sinus (Fig. 8.9). This is typically located anteriorly and is often difficult to appreciate without the angled endoscope. Next, a straight or 45-degree Blakes­ley through-cutting forceps is used to enlarge the natural ostium. The upper cutting arm is placed into the natu­ral ostium and the posterior wall of the natural ostium is divided. This cut is then taken posteriorly to the posterior wall of the maxillary sinus. A combination of instruments and the microdebrider are used to maximize the opening into the maxillary sinus. The completed opening should extend from the anterior aspect of the natural ostium in a posterior direction to the posterior wall of the maxil­lary sinus and vertically from the superior aspect of the inferior turbinate up to the inferomedial wall of the orbit (Fig. 8.10). Any accessory maxillary sinus ostia should be incorporated into the unified ostium.
At this point, the medial aspect of the posterior wall of the maxillary sinus will be seen with a zero-degree endoscope.
8.4.2 Dissection of the Posterior Wall of the Maxilla and Identifi - cation of the Maxillary Artery
Once the desired extent of the posterior wall of the maxillary sinus is exposed, entry into the pterygopalatine fossa can be commenced. Initially, a Freer elevator is placed gently against the bone of the posterior wall and a light pressure used to fracture the wall (Fig. 8.11). The Freer elevator or ball probe can then be used to flake off some initial fragments of bone. Where the bone is quite thin, this technique is effective; however, as the bone thickens, the surgeon will need to utilize a Hajek-Koffler or Kerrison punch for the bone removal (Fig. 8.12). Bone removal should occur in the plane above the level of the periosteum and extend over a wide region of the maxillary sinus

posterior wall. Superiorly, the surgeon needs to be mindful of the infraorbital nerve as it enters the maxillary sinus roof. Typically, the surgeon should aim to remove the majority of the posterior wall of the sinus to facilitate the best possible access to the contents of the pterygopalatine and infratemporal fossa.
After exposure, the periosteum of the posterior max­illary wall is incised with a sickle knife. Typically, fat will herniate through the incision into the posterior aspect of the maxillary sinus. The maxillary artery has a convoluted and somewhat unpredictable course within the pterygo­palatine fossa as described earlier and demonstrated in Figs. 8.1 and 8.2. It is, however, reliably located anterior to the neural structures. Once identified, branches should be followed in both directions until the main artery is

identified. The artery can then be clipped and/or or coag­ulated via bipolar diathermy and then divided. Individual branches may also require bipolar cautery due to the sig­nificant anastomoses and consequent backflow. Fat of the pterygopalatine fossa may be gently removed to identify the neurologic structures within the fossa and to reveal the pterygoid process of the sphenoid. This facilitates approaches to the lateral sphenoid, infratemporal fossa, and middle cranial fossa.
8.4.3 Tips and Tricks
The maxillary artery can be identified in a retrograde
fashion:
Identify the SPA at the SPA foramen and remove the
posterior wall of the maxilla from medial to lateral.
Follow the vessel back to the terminal division to
identify the main trunk.
A greater palatine canal block may improve hemostasis
within the pterygopalatine fossa and hence aid the sur­geon in visualization of the surgical field.
To obtain access further laterally, an endoscopic medial
maxillectomy or prelacrimal approach (discussed else­where in this title) may be of benefit.
The surgeon should avoid the use of powered instru-
mentation in the removal of the uncinate process as the lamina papyracea is positioned immediately lateral to the uncinate and can be inadvertently damaged in this region. This is particularly important in instances where the uncinate process is lateralized or adhered to the lamina papyracea.
8.5 Complications
The complications of approaches to the sphenopalatine and maxillary arteries via endoscopic techniques are similar to those experienced for any endoscopic sinus procedure. In the majority of cases, the SPA ligation tech­nique is utilized for recurrent posterior epistaxis; hence, recurrence of the epistaxis is the complication of most interest. To that end, numerous studies have reported success rates of 92 to 100% with endoscopic SPA ligation for posterior epistaxis.
Minor complications include:
Synechia.
Postoperative infection.
Recurrent or persistent epistaxis.
Minor postoperative pain.
Epiphora.
Major complications of surgery within the pterygopalatine fossa include:
Facial pain.
Midfacial anesthesia or paraesthesia.
Dental anesthesia or paraesthesia.
Reduced lacrimation.
Injury to the sphenopalatine ganglion or vidian nerve.
Blindness and ophthalmoplegia.
